I wonder if Lethal meant to bring on this amount of retribution when he talked about "protected species"? The follow up has been nothing short of hysterical!! Goodes gets every second week off because he keeps his feet in a contest! I'm sorry but that is how he plays, he runs through a pack and gathers the ball, or he misses, but he keeps his feet. Now Buchanan gets 4 weeks for an freaking hip and shoulder??? We've given up on Barry Hall. Never mind that there are 2 umpires watching the play and one dedicated to watching Baz get held, niggled, whacked, pushed ready to blow the whistle when he farts in frustration!! Whilst up the other end, if our blokes lay body contact on in a marking contest they are freaking tunnelling and should get 6 weeks. FFS Swans, cop a few Demetriou Super Contributions and freaking SAY SOMETHING!!
    Can't add much more to that. Great post

        What do you think?

        He calls Adam Goodes a protected species, then the AFL goes all hell bent, and suspends Goodes for a soft charge, and then suspends Buchanan for 4 bloody weeks to be seen as they're doing something against us and to stop the Victorian mentality, of the Swans being looked after all the time.

            It was me who said it and I stand by it. Matthews comments were seized upon by media everywhere and he has since been the target of some very soft MRP decisions. Instead of the Swans standing by their man, they've taken a soft option, accepting and telling Goodes he has to change. The reason he is so hard to match up on is that he is tall, fast, and athletic. If he stops hitting packs at pace, he will become far less effective, or have to play outside. If you're happy to cop that, well fine, but the footy I played carried risks, putting your head over the ball carried risks, that's what makes it courageous. Sure, protect him from getting his neck broken, but it's got ridiculous.

              I hope you're talking about GS14.
              Either way, I'm still with him on this. If it was Goodes' body and Franklin's head people would be wanting No.37 suspended for life or sent to jail, yet he can get decapitated and nothing even gets said. If Goodesy's were bad, so was Franklin's. And Buddy has form too.

                his comments might have been seized on by the media, but to think there is a vendetta aganst us is just not right.

                there have been many many other soft reports and suspensions for other teams as well.

                Goodes has to learn to hit the packs at the ball, not the man. I agree that amons suspension was pretty hefty, and that sort of action a few years back would've been worthy of a free kick only, but I can't cop that the afl are out to get us. that's as silly as the afl buying us a falg in 2005.

                    There was no need for the Easter Bunny crap, I wouldn't have called you an idiot otherwise. If you want to debate, fine, don't treat me like I don't know much about Football, you'll be sadly mistaken.

                      fair nuff, i don't mind being called an idiot, when i am.

                      I was having a go at all the conspiarcy theory rubbish, that was the point of the bunny. Nothing to do with your footy knowledge.

                        What a load of @@@@,and i cant believe the club will take this on the chin.
